Description
The petitioner contends he is entitled to relief because he did not have effective assistance of counsel when he was convicted in Cause No. 192,328 in the 185th District Court of Harris County on October 12, 1973. In that cause the petitioner was convicted of the offense of burglary with the intent to commit theft. The primary offense was enhanced by two prior convictions and punishment of life imprisonment was assessed under the provisions of Art. 63, V.A.P.C. (1925). Although the appellant pled not guilty before a jury to the primary offense, he stipulated, at the punishment phase of the trial, that he had been convicted of the prior offenses just as they were alleged in the indictment.
